What time of day to you like to work out?

I prefer to work out in the morning.  If you have been reading this blog for a while, you know that I try to excuse proof my workout. It is the first thing I do in the morning.  That way the day has been started on a positive note and no matter what happens the rest of the day, I know that I did one great thing that was just for me.

Women's Health Magazine has list given a list of 7 reasons that morning workouts are great.  I recommend it working out in the morning if you can.  However, don't skip a workout if you need to workout later in the day.

Have a great day!

Weatherproofing your workout

Weather!  I know this is a health and fitness blog but I can’t help but to comment on the weather.  It seems that this December is shaping up to messy one for many areas of the U.S.  It rained 9 days in a row in Georgia.  When the sun finally came out this past Tuesday afternoon, I sat outside to watch the sun set even though it was cold.   Cabin fever can really mess with your motivation to workout.  However, working out could be the best remedy to that feeling.

Things you could do:
  1. Shovel the snow (only if you are physically able)
  2. Complete an exercise DVD (see entry from 6/17/13
  3. Go to Youtube and try a new workout
  4. Complete the following circuit

15 jumping jacks
15 air squats
15 mountain climbers
15 bicycle crunches
15 push ups

Do this circuit 4 times.  Enjoy


Try and have fun during this winter season.

Mid-Week Motivation




I workout at 5 am in the morning.  I sometimes want to sleep in now that winter has descended. This is what keeps me going. I like to look in the mirror and like what I see.  Have a great workout

P90X3 is here

I am so excited.  I completed P90X a few years ago.  It was a great workout.  I built a lot of muscle during those 90 days.  I am super excited that Tony Horton has put together a 30 minute program.  I love 30 minute work outs because they are really excuse proof.  You can always find 30 minutes in a day.

I will be ordering my copy by the end of today.  I will be starting a challenge team for P90X3 in January 2014.  Let's do this workout together; keep each other encourage during the next 90 days.  More details will follow by the end of this month.

You are guaranteed to receive P90X3 by Christmas if you order by 12/15/13 at 11:59 pm.  For a limited time there is free shipping.  

You can get further information through my coach link.

Update 7:26 pm
I have placed my order.  Can't wait to get started in about 5 to 7 days.
